Hi Bob

I posted this in the "Forum upgrade: ask for help here" thread but this thread is clearly more specific in terms of imaging:

This is not a new issue per se: I am a Google+ user for hosting my photographs. In trying to now post pictures, when I add the image to the editor it displays perfectly fine in the editor window, but when I try to preview or add the reply, I am getting the message "You are not allowed to use that image extension on this community." This exact behaviour was described in an old thread on posting pictures: link is

http://www.slotforum...77814&p=1100169

In the linked thread, the reason for this behaviour was ascribed to the oldness of the forum software. Now that everything in shiny and new again, I was wondering if I could ask if this matter could be looked into again please?

Note that Google+ provides a link with https// and then a long link that does not seem to reference the file name or file type as such. The following is a text example:

Not a complaint, but a reassuring comment. I posted pics yesterday for the first time since the forum upgrade. I am a Flickr user, and the Flickr BBCode links still appear to work perfectly. Copy and paste the link provided by Flickr, and boom, the picture is inserted into the post with a link back to the picture's Flickr page. Picture shows up on here as expected, and the link complies with Flickr's Ts&Cs. Everybody's happy.

Thanks Stoo good to hear

Likewise, Photobucket works fine on SlotForum, it's the SF gallery that needs fixing by VS.

I have used the Slot Forum gallery to host images that I insert in posts for many years. Now all I find in my galleries (via Firefox or Safari) is any array of "no permission" symbols.

The site worked well for years. Now everything appears to be broken. What was the point of the "upgrade"?

Hi
Same here, I use of board hosting and I can post on here with picks in an instant, but my s/f gallery is another story, can't even do the + thing to try the gallery that way..

The site worked well for years. Now everything appears to be broken. What was the point of the "upgrade"?

I have to seriously disagree with you. Have you not been following the absolute litany of issues that people had been posting prior to the upgrade? For the past few months before the upgrade, discussing issues and problems on the site was probably the most common topic of conversation by a country mile. Had you followed some of the multitude of those rhreads you would also have been aware of the fact that the previous version of the site was seriously out of date. This update skipped several update versions, which always poses challenges. I believe that, while there are still open issues, the core functionality of the board is now miles better. The mods are also actively working on identifying the areas of concern and the tech staff are steadily working on the remaining open items.

Rather than a kick in the teeth I think the whole team (mods and techs) deserve our support and appreciation.

Hi


Can now post direct from my gallery, nice one but how much longer before I can upload again ?

 

[CMOTD]

Ade, gallery privileges are for Plus members. You are no longer one so, although your gallery stays put, you will not be able to upload further images.

 

[Ade]

Hi
So how do I become one again ? Is this one of the items on the to do list ?.

Also,even though I can see the emoticon box is Che ked to the right of me as I type this they are nowhere to be seen ? .

 

[CMOTD]

Yes, as posted on main discussion thread, VS are awaiting a new licence. You should see a 'store' button at the top of the page. We think this is where Plus membership will be placed.

 

[Chappy]

Ade i know you will re up and this is not your fault i will put you back on plus and add you to my list of those i have.
Sorry for the inconvenience biut as Brian said it should be sorted shortly

Many thanks for sorting this.
